"Do you know why Birmingham us the way it is"

TV01:
There are very few actual or objective critics of Kemi B on here. Most are simply outright haters and pretty much despise her.

Kem is certainly doing better - no gainsaying. by most estimates, she has been on fire since responding to the Rachel Reeves' budget. Comments on some of the clips have been almost universally positive. Even uproariously so. Even the vanishingly rare naysayers have sounded choked as they protest.

She may not have hit the ground running, but is certainly picking up steam, and many that were negative or lukewarm at best, are re-appraising her and her chances. The British love pluck.

Having said that, one swallow does not a summer make! This may not change her long-term outcome. The Labour party led by the gormless Kier Starmer, and with the painfully out-of-her depth Reeves as chancellor are literally punch drunk punching bags. Sitting ducks, with a chorus line of lightweights. If the Labour party were footballers, they'd be the kind "you go take enter camp".

There are still some in her party who will never quite warm to her and others who would politically off her at the slightest chance - and the right time for that is not yet - timing is everything. I still feel she took up the mantle too early and, by default has some of the "last 14-years" stink cling to her.

Then there is of course reform. Conservative MPs and party members are still defecting at pace and scale. They are are narrowing in on the things that are troubling the majority of people (this country is still 75%-odd ethnic\indigenous British).

If she can keep it up and drop some smoking hot policies, get the party to rally around her for the most part, then maybe, just maybe? Hopefully she's learnt to temper her utterances given the fallout from her ill-judged comments about Nigeria - unwise and unprofitable. even where I agree or share sentiments, being in her shoes I would have kept mum or, articulated much better.

Hope she is getting better advice. She is not any less than anyone on the UK political scene - I have little time for pretty much all of them. She is not a Statesman or even one in the making by any means - not just yet.

You contradicted yourself by criticising her later in your post. Does that make you a hater too?

Obviously, you are gobsmacked, but it does not mean others who aren't are haters or not objective.

Kemi lacks substance and character and is just looking to drop "hot policy proposals", which is why she can't attract the native or migrant communities and continue to poll dismally.

Kemi is actually doing a good job if you ask me.
She is the leader of the tories
A disgraced party who lost woefully due to the fallout of the austerity measures

Its a tough job and she is doing well in that sense

Most Nigerians who dont like her (plus othet migrant groups) dont because of what she has said about immigrants and Nigerians in the past, which is almost all the time, THE TRUTH

Like I have said 100 times before, on this thread and elsewhere, people, esp Nigerians react to things based on how it made them feel, not really the content of what was said

Obviously you are also gobsmacked by her and so understandably consider her words are "TRUTHS" to you, same way Reform supporters believe Nigel's "TRUTHS" and labour supporters believe Starmars "TRUTH".

Reality on the ground is that the Conservative party is being hollowed out to reform, not just through defection but also through high losses to Reform in local by-elections being held.

There will be very little left of the conservatives before the next election at this rate, and the question would be if there was a chance someone else in the conservatives could have done a better job.

"gobsmacked" by her indeed lmaoooo.

To answer ur last paragraph, the answer is NO...
There would have been little hope for the tories IF Rishi Sunak took the reins the time Liz Truss did

After her disastrous budget saga, that was the nail in the coffin

And tories being "hollowed out" by reform is a figment of your imagination. We will be alive to see how 2029 elections play out

Having said that, almost everything Kemi said is true, ESPECIALLY about immigrants
And yall are mad and feel personally attacked cos yall know it's true

2029 is around the corner

With the USA openly declaring that they will "interfere" in the elections across Europe, let's see if the ramifications of that will destroy Reform or not

My bet is that somehow Labour manages to survive, but lose a lot of seats and forced into a coalition govt
Like it happened in 2010, but this time with the tories

I also predict that the Lib Dems and the Green Party will also overpeform and clajm more seats

And Reform winning AT BEST 110 seats

Sadiq Khan wins another term as mayor

These are my bets

Kemi’s main miscalculation was believing she could run a campaign that paints migrants as the root of Britain’s problems and speaks down to them, yet still expect either migrants or native Britons to find her appealing — despite being a migrant herself.

She may be trying to recalibrate her approach now, but the damage is already done.

Nigel, on the other hand, can run an anti-migrant campaign that pins society’s problems on migrants or EU citizens because he is British.

In Surrey, historically a Conservative stronghold every single by-election this year has flipped seats from conservatives to the Lib Dems or Reform. The party is on track to be wiped out here, and the same pattern is playing out in many other places.

😂 Skin colour as usual was the issue then and it backfired wella

The day we all agree that racism is the root of all these back and forth gaslighting we’ll stop all the English grammar we speak here!

Rishi Sunak would have done a better job
But na when everything don dabaru
That's when they remembered that we have a level headed economist/banker in our ranks

Everytime I watch Liz Truss interviews, I wonder how this one became MP, not even talk of PM, but she is white so she will get a pass

Rishi was a better Prine Minister than Liz Truss and Boris Johnson

You don talk wetin dey pain you in ur heart of hearts, lol (the bolded)

Nigel speaks down on immigrants ALL THE TIME
Rupert Lowe does it
Even Zia Yusufu is doing it

So that is a non issue
E just pain una say Kemi dey give woto woto

Tories austerity plus Liz truss plus Boris plus brexit has rendered them bad market

But that is the party of rich men, they wont be totally wiped out, them go still dey

You have your reasons to be gobsmacked by Kemi, I have my reasons not to be, it doesnt pain me any more than it pains you and its nothing to be ashamed of...that is how democracy works.

Vote for her during the coming election.

peace!

You see at the bolded.

I agree with 150%: young, charismatic, intelligent, economics savvy, good communicator.

He was the reason I voted conservatives even with their anti-immigrant policies at the time which was fair by the way.

You captured it all, i will never vote for kemi in any capacity, i will actively encourage anyone to vote against her. Kemi will never win Gen election even if she ran against a hamster.

Well...that is the least of my worries. The humiliation Rishi suffered during last general election will be nothing to what she will experience if her name appears in ballot paper in next general election

- Always open windows
- Use electric dehumidifier possibly every night. You can get any from amazon
- Continue to control the moulds with mould spray till summer when you start opening windows

Those are the options
